What People Are Saying About I+M:
“…Having just now, finally watched the footage, I have to say, this is by far the most artfully and masterfully filmed footage of my work that I have ever seen and I could not be more grateful!! WOW you and your crew did an exceptional job. I feel you completely captured the essence, the feeling, and the magic of the world, and I'm just so impressed with how skillfully you transition between shots, so that we never miss what's happening dramatically or choreographically. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's really so rare that I feel I have good documentation of my work and this is a true gift. I hope we get to work together again in the future.”
- Annie (Client)
“I've had the good fortune to work with some very prominent documentary and corporate video directors and [Tobin is] definitely among the best. I really appreciate [his] calm and level-headedness, as well as [his] ideas and artfulness.”
- Ryan (Collaborator/Contractor)
”Tobin is the kindest, most creative person I’ve ever worked with. His intuition comes from an organic place you can’t help but trust and follow.”

A native of Maine, Tobin Del Cuore began performing at the Celebration Barn Theater, studying mime and stage craft with the late Tony Montanaro, Leland Faulkner and Fred Garbo. Del Cuore went on to begin his ballet training at the Walnut Hill School in Natick, Massachusetts. He attended The Juilliard School under the direction of Benjamin Harkarvy, graduating in 2001 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Upon graduating, Del Cuore joined the artists of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, where he danced for six years. Del Cuore has since danced for Aszure Barton & Artists, The Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, The Metropolitan Opera, BalletX, Alessandra Ferri Dance, Houston Grand Opera, The Lyric Opera of Chicago, and SFDanceworks. Today, Del Cuore works closely with Aszure Barton, assisting in new creations, staging existing work and creating video projections. Del Cuore has also staged work for Lar Lubovitch and Alejandro Cerrudo and in 2018 was associate choreographer for the US National Tour of Dirty Dancing - The Classic Story On Stage.
In 2011 Del Cuore founded his production company, Imagination + Muscle, where he has produced and directed numerous music videos, commercials, promos, dance films, and multi-camera live performance captures. Most recently, Del Cuore has worked extensively with New York City’s 92nd Street Y, directing multicamera shoots of dance performances for the Harkness Mainstage Series curated by Harkness Dance Center Director, Taryn Kaschock Russell.
On a personal level, Del Cuore spends as much time as possible in his native Maine with his husband Boswell and their two Brussels Griffons, Crouton and Onion.
